Looking good

I would advise wiring them thru a relay. Also don't run them too long without the engine running as they will drain the battery. (Trust me I know...) They did also melt my relay, but were still working even though I couldn't crank the Jeep. Probably needed a higher wattage relay than what I had?

Hope to see you on the trails soon.

These were suppose to be spots but they have a funky beam pattern they just throw a big ring of light out no spot at all but they light the world up!

Do you have the clear lens? If so, spin the housing like a mag lite to adjust the beam pattern.

I'd never figured you could focus the light beam like that
